How to mask an Aadhaar card
1. Choose the picture
Pick a photo or scan of the card as a JPG, PNG or WebP. For a PDF e-Aadhaar, save the page as a JPG first.
2. Check the black boxes
The page looks for the 12 digit number and covers its first 8 digits. Drag on the picture to cover anything it missed, such as the number printed a second time or the QR code.
3. Save the masked copy
Press Save. You get a new JPG with the boxes burned in. Your original file is not changed.
FAQ
What is a masked Aadhaar?
A copy of the card that shows only the last 4 digits of the number, with the first 8 hidden. UIDAI recommends sharing a masked copy when the full number is not required.
Is my Aadhaar card uploaded?
No. The picture is read and covered inside your browser. It is never sent to a server.
Can someone remove the black boxes?
No. The saved file is a flat picture with the boxes drawn over the digits, so the hidden digits are not in the file any more.
It did not find the number. What now?
A blurry, tilted or dark photo can be hard to read. Drag on the picture to draw the boxes yourself; it takes a few seconds.
Should I cover the QR code too?
Yes, if you do not want the receiver to scan it. The QR code holds your details, so draw a box over it as well.
Is it free?
Yes. There are no ads, no watermark and no daily limit.
